Ranged weapon PV is determined by the PV of the gun itself. The PV of the bullet does not matter. Even if the weapon is a [[Compound bow|compound]] or [[Short bow|short bow]], all that is derived from the "bullet" is the damage value and the [[Boomrose arrow|effect]], if any; the PV remains static. | Ranged weapon PV is determined by the PV of the gun itself.

A bow's base PV is determined by the PV of the arrow loaded into the bow. The {{favilink|compound bow}} also has the effect of adding the wielder's [[strength]] modifier to the penetration value. | |||
Whether or not these PV modifications are shown in game currently seems to be somewhat inconsistent. For example, the {{favilink|short bow}} always show {{PV}}4, but the compound bow's PV will update accurately based on the ammo loaded into it and the wielder's strength. | |||
